How to do this [C#]

Hi, I have a class that receives a generic type. The class modifies the scale of the node received in parameters. The problem is that each type of node has a different property name for its scale, for example: label = rectScale sprite = Transform.Scale

Is there a unique way of referring to the scale of a node? Do I have to check the type of node to refer to its scale property depending on whether it is sprite, label or other?

Perhaps using a parameter of type string indicating the property to be modified? This would be like some Godot methods in which you must specify the property as "transform: scale: x"

I believe, though I have not double checked, that Transform.scale is defined in Node2D and RectScale is defined in Control. This should make it where you can determine which property to modify just by checking if the node extends Node2D or Control, making it where there only has to be two conditionals to handle all of the CanvasItem extending Godot nodes. Something like this (untested, GDScript):

if (node is Control):
	node.rect_scale = Vector2(1, 1)
elif (node is Node2D):
	node.transform.scale = Vector2(1, 1)

Though this method does require you to check the type of the generic type passed-in to the function, unfortunately.

I'm not sure if there is a universal scale property. I'd look at the documentation for CanvasItem and see if there is anything defined there that would help, since both Node2D and Control nodes extend CanvasItem.

Thank you!. I'm going to try to see what I get.

It is a bit weird this matter.

In label the rotation is rectRotation and in sprite Transform.RotationDegrees

In sprite it should be Transform.Rotation for more consistency.
